<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>After torching defenses for 1,375 yards and 9 TDs last season, Jean-Bart transferred to Evans and brings big-time playmaking ability to a new setting. He was second in Florida in receiving yards and now joins a run-heavy offense where creativity will be key to unlocking his potential. Explosive, reliable and built for Saturdays—he checks a lot of boxes.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1584856' first='Robert' last='Stith'] | WR | Niceville | @RobertStith2026</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>One of North Florida's most dangerous perimeter threats, Stith racked up 870 yards and 10 TDs as a junior. At 6-2, 180 with verified 4.3 speed and 19 yards per catch, he's a vertical nightmare. Power 5 offers have already rolled in, and his ceiling is only getting higher.</p>

<p><strong>DJ Hicks | WR | Jones | @DJ_Hicks2</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hicks posted over 1,000 yards and 8 touchdowns last season and now steps into a high-octane Jones offense where the ball will fly. With a 4.41 laser-timed 40 and versatility as a slot weapon, he's poised to do serious damage. Coaches are starting to take notice of his ability to stretch the field and create after the catch.</p>

<p><strong>Tae'Sean Robinson | WR | Sumner | @T5beSnappin</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Robinson is the definition of a playmaker—1,010 yards and 11 touchdowns last year tell part of the story. His blend of size, physicality, and game speed makes him a matchup issue on every snap. Also a high-character student-athlete who takes the game seriously. His stock is climbing with the right eyes on him.</p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='929641' first='Drew' last='Watson'] | WR | Beachside | @drew_watson24</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Watson was a go-to weapon last fall with 891 yards and 11 scores. A physical wideout with strong hands and blocking ability, he brings consistency and upside to the position. Watson has quietly built one of the more impressive resumes among under-the-radar 2026 receivers in Northeast Florida. </p>

<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1752378' first='James' last='Jones'] | WR | Atlantic | @Jamesjones1k</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Jones has torn up the offseason circuit, flashing his explosiveness at every stop. He's got the juice to take the top off a defense or slice through underneath zones. Easy top-2 WR in the 561 for 2026—his breakout is already happening.</p>

<p><strong>B[player_tooltip player_id='641591' first='Ryan' last='Hamilton'] | WR | Gaither | @Bryanhamilton__</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Hamilton's 818 yards and 8 touchdowns only tell part of the story—this dude flies. With a verified 10.4 in the 100 and a 4.40 40, he's been running by DBs all spring. Big offers are starting to roll in, and he still feels like one of the bigger sleepers in the state.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>Maddox Hunstad | WR | Beachside | @MaddoxHunstad</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Beachside's second 1,000-yard caliber guy. At 6-5, Hunstad is a matchup nightmare. Whether out wide or flexed inside, he's shown body control, hands, and plenty of upside. Offers are stacking—and it makes sense.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581751' first='Barrett' last='Schulz'] | WR | Lake Mary | @BarrettSchulz</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>At 6-6, 190, Schulz makes corners look small and safeties look slow. He's not just big—he moves well and has polished up his route tree. Also a willing blocker, he brings full-package potential to the field. A big senior year is coming.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='641591' first='Ryan' last='Hamilton'] | WR | Gaither | @RyanHamilton__</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Explosive and smooth with verified offers from FAU, Wake Forest, Buffalo and more. [player_tooltip player_id='641591' first='Ryan' last='Hamilton'] is an emerging deep-ball threat who can house it at any moment. DBs better backpedal quickly—he's got game-breaking speed.</p>

<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1581874' first='Ziyon' last='Butler'] | WR | Raines | @zflashthetruth</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nicknamed “Z Flash” for a reason. Butler clocked out with 600+ yards and 9 touchdowns in 2023 while beginning to grow into his frame. Add elite track speed and he's now looking like one of Duval's better deep threats in the 2026 class.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='1602647' first='Davon' last='Washington'] | WR | Lake Brantley | @Davonwash12</strong></p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Don't let the size fool you—Washington is a certified problem. He led the SSAA division with 17 TDs last season on 52 catches for 1,080 yards. Sharp route runner, electric off the line, and pure separation quickness. His skillset translates, and he's one of the more underrated technicians in the state.</p>
